Claim a Bath Half Space
We’re pleased to offer a limited number of spaces at Bath Half, which are available on a first-come, first serve-basis. We ask for a £20 deposit to secure your place, then a pledge to raise a minimum of £250 (or more!) for the animals at Bath Cats & Dogs Home.

Bath Half is one of the most popular city centre running events in the UK, and attracts new runners, and professionals aiming for a personal best. It's a unique event, taking you around the route twice so it's easy to know when you're past halfway! You'll have people cheering you on the whole route, shouting your name when they see your race number, handing you jelly babies from the pavement, and giving you high fives for an extra boost.

We'll also have our BCDH Cheer Squad along the route, giving an extra loud cheer as you go past.

"Having the support from the crowds all the way round makes it a really fun run." James
